Best Mops for Light Duty Jobs
Swiffer Wetjet and Scotch-Brite Super-Cling
It was a tie between two mops using disposable cleaning pads. Testers loved the pivoting action
of the Super-Cling (right) and the chuck-it-when-you’re-done simplicity of its premoistened pads. The WetJet (left) uses dry pads and has a scrubber on one side of the head for more intensive spot cleaning;
a button dispenses a stream of cleaning solution. With either mop, don’t try to conserve pads — you’ll just transfer dirt back onto the floor. Typically, two or three pads clean a 15-by-15-foot area.
Debra Johnson from Merry Maids says: “The Super-Cling scrubs great and slips under furniture well. The WetJet worked better than I’d expected; it’s the first time I’ve been able to clean
all hard-surface floors with one type of pad.”
